OMG! I love how she put up all her prveious PVs and her most memorable live performances up at one Hikki-exclusive youtube account; it's been forever since I've seen any of them in their entirety since they keep getting deleted for copyright violation an I have yet to get any of her single clip collections yet (will be getting @ least a few for x-mas hopefully)...
Anyways, I thought the PV was pretty terrific, although initially it honestly had me arrested into banality for about the first 15 secs. or so! It's like I heard someone @ U.blog said: "Goodbye Happiness" is not only a slick tribute to all of her classic music videos of the past but also a heavy-hearted tribute to all her international and Japanese fans who cover/karaoke her songs or plog posts Utada-related videos on any of the now infinite viral sites. That also fits well with the song's lyrical content from the third-person perspective of she'll be leaving and absent from our lives for a while, but euphorically recall all the lifetime memories the music has made! Some have complained about it not being incredible for lack of special effects or aesthetically-pleasing studio backgrounds that her Kiriya cllaborations had, but I say that doesn't matter at all when the music's this great, she's IN hte PV, and her humanity and personality is shining through the whole time on! As far as refernces and nods to her other PVs and past events, I think the list goes: -The yellow sofa chair and choreogrpahy from "Automatic"'s PV -The disco ball and prom setting of "First Love"'s PV and her 'Rockin' On Japan' photoshoot for her 2008 HS album promotional era -Those outrageously expensive but kickass headphones from the "HS" PV -The stationary camera angle of the "Hikari" PV -The "Traveling" PV march (too cute)! -The animal puppets in reference to her "WILD LIFE" concerts and "Boku Wa Kuma" PV, as well as the claymation segment of "Traveling"? (also adorable!) -The unplugged or studio-based performance footage of the "FOL" "POL" and "For You/Time Limit" PVs -The teacher/chalkboard get-up for "Keep Tryin'" (and all the society-based occupations she did in it?) -The Pizza Delivery and flying doves at the end to when her dad called "Pizza Hut" like "Pizza Doves" in Japanese pronounciation? -The Utada Production card @ beginning to all the Kiriya/Hikaru collabos -The "I Love You" pad note from "HS's" ending lyrics and just to say it to us as a thank you so much for now, maybe? ..That's all I could make out, but let me know if I missed anything! |
